End of life concerns
As people age, many find themselves navigating meaningful yet challenging transitions—retirement, becoming a grandparent, or shifts in long-held roles—that can stir questions about purpose and identity. It’s also common to experience layers of loss and grief, including the deaths of loved ones as well as non-death losses such as changes in health, independence, or relationships, which may occur all at once. These experiences can contribute to depression or a gradual withdrawal from activities that once brought joy. Physical or cognitive changes may further impact a sense of connection, autonomy, and overall enjoyment of life, while some older adults also carry the emotional and physical weight of caregiving for spouses or other loved ones. Alongside all of this, many reflect on end-of-life concerns—seeking meaning, fulfillment, and peace around unfinished goals—and deserve compassionate support as they do so.
